Licensee Action on Previous Ins ection Findin s (Closed)
Unresolved item (50-275/78-07):
FSAR section 6.2.5 and figure.6'-l5 have been amended to show the use of silver zeolite or charcoal absorbers in the containment Hydrogen Purge System rather than charcoal.
The system was installed with a silver zeolite absorber..
This item is considered closed.
Emer enc Plannin
- Tests and Drills The licensee plans to conduct a test or drill of the emergency plan shortly before fuel loading.
No items of noncompliance or deviation were identified.
4.'adiation Protection - Staffin The Radiation and Process Monitor (RPM) selection, to bring the staff to a total of eight, has been completed.
At the time of the inspection training of the additions to the staff was approximately 50/
complete.
Three additional positions for RPMs have been announced and selection is in progress.
This will raise the RPM staff to a total of eleven.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
5.
Radiation Protection - Res irator Protection The inspector discussed and reviewed the procedures developed by the licensee for the implementation of a respiratory protection program.
The procedures consist of Radiation Control Standards (RCS) issued
=
by the Manager, Steam Generation Department, for company-wide implementation and Radiation Control Procedures (RCP)
and Administra-tive Procedures (AP) issued by the Plant Superintendent for implemen-tation* at Diablo Canyon.
The procedures prepared in support of the respiratory protection program are as follows:
RCS No.

'se of Respiratory Equipment for Protection Against Airborne Radioactive Materials Use of Constant Flow Air Line Respirators at Diablo Canyon Power Plant Plant Airborne Radioactivity Surveillance The inspector verified that the procedures appropriately addressed the following sections of Regulatory Guide 8.15, sections C, 1-5 and 7, and six of the "additional technical items" in section C-8.
Section C-6 relates to the use of equipment for which no schedule of approval has been established.
The licensee has not proposed the use of such equipment.
The licensee has purchased repair and test equipment from the respirator equipment supplier.
The suppliers representative will train licensee personnel in respiratory equipment repair and maintenance.
A total of approximately 25 SCBA devices will be available for emergency fire and control room use and in support of radiation protection activities.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

Radiation Protection - Procedures The inspector examined the following Radiation Control Standards during the inspection:
No.
No.
No
Personnel Exposure Personnel Contamination Gontrol Control of Radioactive Materials No items of noncompliance or deviations were identifie.
Radiation Protection Neutron Monitorin 9.
The inspector discussed the licensee's plans for p'ersonnel neutron monitoring.
Film badges containing NTA film and neutron pocket ionization chambers will be used.
Rem meter surveys and stay time calculations will also be used.
After operations begin the licensee may retain a consultant for containment neutron energy measurements to relate rem meter and personnel dosimeter response.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
Radioactive lfaste - Measurement
.C. - Audits The licensee has implemented the State of California approved laboratory quality control program previously identified (REF.
IE Reports 50-275/78-07 and 50-2?5/?8-13).
The program requires duplicate or spike sample analysis on every tenth sample run.
Audit No. 81019,
"D.C.P.P.
Chemistry Laboratory gA Program for NPDES Permit",
November 8-10, 19?8, evaluated the existing gA program and determined the degree of implementation.
The audit identified a number of items for which corrective actions were required.
Corrective action had been completed and verified on all items.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
Radioactive 14aste - Plant Vent Iodine Monitor 10.
The inspector verified through discussions with the licensee that channel 1-R-24, Plant Vent Iodine monitor incorporates a Compton background subtraction capability to reduce the possibility of false high iodine values.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identifed.
Preo er ational Testin Test data from completed preoperational tests were examined to assure that the test results were within the previously-established acceeptance criteria and, as applicable, deviations from acceptance criteria were properly identified and disposed in accordance with the licensee's administrative procedures.
Records for the following completed tests which had been approved and accepted by operations were examine Test No.
